Ludden: Spurs moving right along

[Obstructed_View]

With Parker's FG%, only an idiot wouldn't have him thinking shoot before pass.

Its so refreshing to see people paying attention.

I've noticed for awhile that Brent is more effective being on the floor with Beno as opposed to Tony. I'm glad someone else noticed this and articulated it.

For sure, 1 game and one vision...

well i say, one another game and one another vision :

Barry Jump Shot: Made (5 PTS)
Assist: Parker (5 AST) 7:48
[SAS 39-24]

Barry Jump Shot: Made (8 PTS)
Assist: Parker (6 AST) 4:36
[SAS 48-27]

Barry Jump Shot: Made (13 PTS)
Assist: Parker (8 AST)5:19
[SAS 70-53]

Barry Jump Shot: Made (19 PTS)
Assist: Parker (9 AST) 8:30
[SAS 90-71]

Maybe Tony was here on ST yesterday?

Maybe Tony was here on ST yesterday?

It's funny, but i had as well this thought when i saw the stats this morning...

Well, I just wanted to point out the fact that, wether if we all now that Beno has better passing skills than Tony, many many things are depending from the coach decisions and the "at a precise time shooting ability" of the player who will receive the pass...

I just can't accept to read that when someone is on the floor, he will not receive the pass from this player or another...

But what a collective game yesterday, 25 dishes !

When Tony was a rookie all he tried to do was pass...he can pass, that's just never been the emphasis for him on this team. When he came to this team we definitely needed scoring from our guards more than passing. Duncan can get guys open just by standing there...this team does not have the need for a true PG that most teams do.




I'd also like to point out that none of the Jordan Bulls teams or the Kobe Shaq Lakers had PGs with high assist totals. Thos teams had scorers as the primary distributors and the assist totals were similar to Tony's....5-6 per game.

The Rockets didn't either and neither did the Heat...The Pistons are the only team to win les in the last 17 years or so with true PG distributing the ball.

That said...Tony does need to check those corners when he's penetrating into multiple defenders...it is something he doesn't look for enough now. Nice to see him doing it tonight.

i dont care about his assist totals...i just think that he dribbles the ball too much. that kills the offensive flow. i loved the old spurs offense that looked like a european team with the back cuts, flashy passing around the perimeter, and all that good stuff. now its all pick and roll with tony. tony is my boy, but our offense would be better with more movement. and if our offense is better, that allows us to get back on defense and play with more energy.
